Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;

Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

That isn't Paul being called a father by anyone other than himself to prove that it was he who first taught them. But please continue, show where they were called fathers.

Sorry Sean, not even close to the Fathers of the Bible, but please show the verses where the Apostles were called fathers.
